Redefining the middle class: In a word, how Obama will turn U.S. into a socialist paradise

President Barack Obama has asked a powerful new linguistic task force to find ways to expand the definition of “middle class” to include “lower class” and “upper class” while keeping “the super rich” in a category of their own.

In that way, the president confided to senior administration officials, the true and traditional middle class will feel as if they are the focus of economic initiatives while the lower class will understand that they, as part of the middle class, also are being helped.

Under this semantical scheme, the upper class will see themselves as beneficiaries as well, because, as actual members of the middle class per the linquistic team’s forthcoming redefinitions, they will be on the “handout radar”, too.

As the so-called fairness state unfolds, the super rich will be reminded that they are comfortably distanced and well isolated from the underclasses, including former upper-class folks who, even though they had been fairly well off, weren’t in a position to pay high-priced accountants to prevent the redistribution of their wealth in the form of tax cuts to people who don’t pay taxes.

For the record, the super rich likely will include all serious politicians, some celebrities and most corporate CEOs.

“The strength of our economy can be measured by the strength of our middle class,” Obama said.

“This is a difficult moment. But I believe, if we act boldly and swiftly, it can be an American moment — when we work through our differences and overcome our divisions to become, truly, a nation of two peoples, the middle classes and the monied classes, working together, as one.”
